I have problem with avast.
Often, during the day, i get little red X on my Avast icon and when i click on it, it says:
“The Avast! antivirus program has been stopped, or is in an incosistent state. Please re-start the program to resume protecting your system.”
I got this issue today as well. from reading the update notes this issue should of been fixed in this new version I guess it’s not.
The avast! Web Scanner service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s).
The avast! Mail Scanner service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s).
The avast! Antivirus service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s).
a simple reboot of my computer fixed this issue, but this shouldn’t be happening anymore from your latest patch notes for winXP SP3 computers because your patch notes states it was fixed.
this is from your latest patch release notes:
avast! Release historyVersion 5.0.677
2010-09-07
solved a problem that could lead to disappearing of the avast service. NOT FIXED
Please have a look in the folder C:\ProgramData\ALWIL Software\Avast5\logs. Does it contain any files called unpSomeNumbers.mdmp? If so, please send a few of them (the most recent ones) to my email address for analysis.
